Catchment Groups
We love working with catchment groups to supply their projects, and are happy to help with advice and site visits. We have been working with the Ahuriri and Tributaries Catchment Group for several years, and also supply Guardians of Tutira & Districts Inc with plants and advice.
Hosting visits
Whether you have a community project like a wetland restoration, want to replant riparian areas, or undertake soil erosion control projects, we have the most suitable locally sourced plants for your catchment project. We also offer poplars and Himalayan oaks for planting on pastoral sites.
We are happy to host visits at the nursery so that catchment group members can learn more about the plants they can use to restore their landscapes.
Why Plant Hawke’s Bay?
Our plants
We are specialists in eco-sourced seeds and locally grown trees and shrubs, nurtured specifically for the landscape and conditions found in Hawke’s Bay. We cultivate our quality seeds and plants for a robust life; fostered for strength, hardiness, root condition and survival. We have dedicated ourselves to growing a diverse collection of native plants along with Poplars and Himalayan Oaks for pastoral farming.
Our expertise
We have a depth of knowledge about the special suite of plants we have in Hawke’s Bay that means we understand the landscape and know which plants suit different sites. Our offering spans product, planning, service and support, tailored to each customer’s unique land, vision and goals. We want your project to succeed, so will give you the best advice we can with guidance from initial planning and plant selection to planting recommendations, and follow-up care and service.
Our commitment to Hawke’s Bay biodiversity
Landscape and plants are what help define an area and must be treasured. Using eco-sourced plants protects local biodiversity and respects the local landscapes, helping keep the unique character of Hawke’s Bay intact. With our knowledge and respect for the history of this region, we are making a difference today and for the future of Hawke’s Bay.
Our extensive range
We specialise in native plants for restoration, conservation, wetlands, farm planting and landscaping projects. Our seeds are sourced from naturally occurring indigenous populations throughout Hawke’s Bay. Every summer and autumn we traverse the area for the widest range of seeds from all sorts of landscapes, collecting seeds from original wild plants and landscapes wherever possible. If you’re after a particular species, we’ll work with you to find the best option for your site.
Marie & the team at Plant HB are passionate supporters of the conservation work being undertaken by the Ahuriri Tributaries Catchment Group Trust. Their experience and knowledge, combined with their hands on contribution and advice to our projects, make Plant HB an invaluable partner to the restoration of indigenous plant species in our catchment.
